#thevelvettouch The holiday season wants to bring out the best of human connections and touch is its best manifest. The subtle warmth of a handshake with someone you haven’t seen in a long time. The softness of a heartfelt embrace. The richness of a kiss. Senses are all heightened for Christmas, but touch - so important and mandatory for a full experience when flipping through the pages of a magazine - is the star of Vogue Portugal’s latest double issue. And not just any touch: the velvet touch in a metaphorical softness that’s a common thread to all dimensions of the season, as well as the content of this December/January issue, with four covers that are as sweet as red velvet, as seductive as black velvet, as nostalgic as velvet underground. Available now on Vogue.pt/shop and hitting newsstands. // Cover 04 of 04. — #vogueportugal @lighthouse.publishing — Editor in Chief: @sofia.slucas Cover art direction: @jsantanagq Photography: @colesprouse Styling: @joana_dacheville Talent: @maggiejoymaurer Hair: @alfiesackett Makeup: @adrianabartosova Production: @sarovski & @snowberry_production Photography assistants: @ericmichaelroy & @ismaelprata Styling assistant: @leorouault Production assistant: @carolinadcnunes Digital Operator: @goncaloofabiao Location: Parque da Pena @parquesdesintra Retouch: Studio Private
